The individual windows on our 2005 RX will work when actuated from their respective doors, but only the drivers window will operate from the drivers seat. Any thoughts? Thanks

This condition normally happens when the battery is disconnected. The manual actually outlines on how to re-set the windows so that the driver can control all of the windows. If memory serves me right, you have to cycle the window that does not work by remote 3 times (down-up x 3), then try to control via the driver’s control.

If the above does not work, I would disconnect the battery and re-learn everything (that’s what I would do). When you disconnect the battery, you will need to re-set the seats and side mirrors re-taught (re-set) and well as the sunroof.

Good luck.

Thanks. Her battery just dies and was replaced. Did have to reset the seats and now will try the windows.

take window half way down then all the way up. hold the switch in the up position for a few secs after reaching the top. do this with each window from the window switch.

I did the three times up and down and now it works. Now the next problem. It does not appear that the headlights turn on during "auto". The running lights are on all the time and I can turn the headlights on manually. Seemed to happen around the time of the bad battery
Thanks in advance

Headlight setting of AUTO, lights will turn on when there is no sunlight.

Have the same problem. Did the three times up and down and it still doesn't work. If you hold the switch at the window, the light stays lit, but when you let go it blinks with two long blinks and all the other switches are solid. Not sure what the problem is because the window goes up and down at the window, but not from the drivers switch for that window and that is the only switch that blinks.

read my earlier post

Tried every variation of taking each window half down, then up and holding one second. Also tried each window all the way down then up and holding for a sec. Also tried a variant someone suggested of taking the bad window down then going to the driver control and holding that down, then going back to the passenger window, bringing that up and holding it, then going back to the driver control and holding that one up. Nothing. The only thing I haven't tried is disconnecting the battery and starting over. Its raining today so I can't try that, but that's where I'm at.

try when it hits the top, hold the up button for a FEW secs.

It is set to auto on the steering column but the lights don't go on when it is dark....only when it is moved to ON

Found out why the headlights would not go on when in AUTO. When the dash was replaced by lexus they disconnected a wire and then forgot to reconnect that wire. Brought the care to our local Toyota dealer (same owner but 25 miles closer than Lexus and cheaper repair rates) and they found the problem. Still charged us for the repair which we are trying to get Lexus to waive....

Took my car in to the dealer and they replaced the motor on the passenger window that wouldn't work from driver panel. Mechanic said that a weak motor will behave that way and stop working from the driver panel. It works now, so problem solved!
